No assurance of a pardon

What the fuck is going on in Ohio? Well.. consider that I-70 is, for all intents and purposes, the Mason-Dixon line, and Hamilton County is south of that. Next, a state rethuglican party so corrupt, it's managed rig up a supermajority for itself in a state that was blue within living memory and is still largely purple. Yet we seem to be an afterthought for any Dem campaigns, just not a juicy enough target to waste their time on - the literal definition of flyover country.

She came, she lied, hubby got a free ride, time to slide. Next!

I assume she is a member of MS13, it's the only possible explanation.

Ideally her next job involves scraping human shit out of ancient plumbing with her bare hands and then having to eat white bread and American cheese sandwiches for lunch.

Mike DeWine's failed reelection campaign? When did that happen? Mike's finishing up his second term as Governor and is term-limited out.

Hamilton county. That’s practically Kentucky.

The three largest cities in Ohio begin with C. Cleveland, in the north, has an east coast feel to it. Columbus, in the middle, has a midwest feel to it. Cincinnati, in the south, has a southern feel to it.

The east and west sides of Cleveland have distinctly different feels. The Midwest starts at the Cuyahoga.

Ta, Marcie. I hate to be the pedant (no, I don't), but it's not spittin' image, a meaningless term in itself (although it's one everyone knows). It's spit'n'image, which is a shortened version of spirit and image. Just so you know. That said, I could put that Michael Shannon video on repeat; it's so fucking good. No one reads an email better!

It sure seems weird that the macho-manly trumpsters are just terrified of everything, but especially women, minorities, anyone who doesn't think consenting adult sex is personal and should be a private matter, furriners. brown people, etc...

In other words, anyone other than a straight white male who despises everyone in the list above.

You left out Xtian.

Since we're wildly speculating, I'm putting out there that Krusti thought Tricia was making a play for her man Corey and Tricia was quitfired.

Plus, the Noemster was jealous of all the TV facetime that Tricia was getting.

Amazing the way cameras can capture that "I'm just about to sneeze" expression! Love it!

Probably she’s going to join another campaign to help elect another shitty human being to office this fall. And then jump on the couch in 2028 as a spokesliar for Guyliner’s presidential bid.

How old is she? She looks way to young to have already had her soul sucked out of her body like a blonde Little Marco.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard her voice. I’ve read the text of many of her lies but I’ve never watched a clip of her speaking.

Zyxomma's avatar

I have never heard her voice. I'm better off for that.

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

I remember the shock that went through me the first time I heard Stephen Miller speak.

Maybe's avatar

She worked really hard on that soul sucking and deserves soul credit for her achievement.

From Slate:

"To most, McLaughlin is probably best known for slandering Americans wounded or killed by immigration agents—including Renee Good (whom she accused of “domestic terrorism”) and Alex Pretti (whom she claimed sought to “massacre law enforcement”). Inside the legal system, though, McLaughlin is known for something else: Actively sabotaging the Department of Homeland Security in court through her crass, often false public statements. Most notably, McLaughlin has gained notoriety for smearing judges who rule against the Trump administration, deriding them as “activist,” “craven,” “out of control” partisans engaged in “judicial sabotage,” “race-baiting,” and stoking “the embers of hatred.” President Donald Trump has praised her tactics, but they have done her department no favors in front of these judges. It was perhaps inevitable that judges would bristle at a government spokeswoman deriding them as hacks."

Like all of the regime’s spokesliars, her job was to just speak to an audience of one.

By the time that $230m gets laundered back to the MAGA MLM up-line, I don't think there's going to be a lot left.

What really pisses me off is that NPR, SNAP, ACA subsidies, etc get cut and were told that we're takers for even daring to demand SS, Medicare/Medicaid, unemployment - SHIT THAT WE'VE PAID FOR FFS.

1. As an Ohioan, I'd like to apologize for Tricia McLaughlin, and all the other shitty Republicans who are being inflicted on decent Americans by my benighted state.

2. I know you're just using the word for effect, but no one with a Scotch-Irish surname like McLaughlin is actually an Aryan. However, our Tricia might be an aspiring Aryan, just as Stephen Miller is an aspiring gentile.

The Norsemen spent a lot of time pillaging and spreading their genes around both Scotland and Ireland during the early Middle Ages. That blonde hair and those blue eyes are a sure sign of some Germanic heritage.

I’ll trade you her for Fetterman.

Go be a fucking bitch on someone else's dime, Tricia.
